13 Fat Loss Hacks – A ‘Cheat Sheet’ For Sculpting A Sexy Beach Body
Hack 5: Fast Results = Fasting?
One of the best things you can do to get insanely ripped while following a good nutrition and training program is incorporating one 24 hour Fast per week.
This is broken down extensively in Brad Pilon’s excellent Eat, Stop, Eat blog.
In his blog Brad states after years of research on his own that “Prolonged caloric restriction is the only proven nutritional method of weight loss.”
Brad breaks down what happens to human beings when they are in the fasted state, and researched its benefits for your overall health, and weight loss.
Brad also states that being in a fasted state for short periods of time does not decrease your metabolism.
Long story short, Brad and I recommend doing one 24 hour fast per week. The trick is the time that you start the fast at. If you time it where your fast starts at say 8 PM, you can end your fast at 8 PM the following day, thus NEVER going an entire day without eating.
Fasting for a 24 hour period once per week will help you blast away fat from your core much quicker than any fad diet or pill could! Your body will enter a fat burning mode.
Brad also points out that fasting for 24 hours will NOT cause you to lose any lean muscle mass, and this is a very common myth that has been floating around for quite some time.
Hack 6: Plyometrics Accelerate Gains
For me this means an intense regimen of sprints, and vertical jump training like box jumps and depth jumps.
Plyometrics get your fast twitch muscle fibers firing, which are responsible for your muscle growth, and explosive movements like jumping and running. High Intensity plyometrics burn a TON of calories, and help your body produce more growth hormone and testosterone by firing up your fast twitch muscle fibers.
Adding 1 or 2 days a week of plyometrics is a great way to train, and it has personally helped me transform my body a great deal. It also is great for changing your workout routine, and adding to muscle confusion.
Speaking of Muscle Confusion….
Hack 7: Don’t Eat Fat Free Products
If you are trying to get a lean and sexy beach body, DO NOT eat fat free food items.
‘Fat Free’ is really code word for ‘high sugar’, which is really code word for ‘layer of fat that will cover your ab muscles’. Foods that are naturally fat free are an exception, but next time you are at a grocery store compare the same food item that is fat free compared to the regular one and you will notice the fat free item is loaded with sugar, and in many cases is actually higher in calories!
Sugar Free items are just as bad, and contain dangerous chemicals that could slow your progress.
